Being taught also ins't a mere service, it's a transformative experience that changes you and your teacher.</p>

Prof. Sam Lawler<p>Good morning. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/BabyGoatCountdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BabyGoatCountdown</span></a> is at 2 days, and it's -17C this morning so I did get up at 2am to go check the goats. Fortunately the stars were amazing at 2am and the Earth's shadow was high enough that there were no visible satellites!</p><p>I'm 75% sure that I heard a peep from the incubator when I checked just now, so maybe the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FediverseChickCountdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FediverseChickCountdown</span></a> won't be a total bust!</p>

myrmepropagandist<p>Please don't order lilies for your friends and lovers if they have a cat. Really... a gift of flowers for a cat owner is... I won't say it's *always* a bad idea, but consider if the cat owner has any house plants.</p><p>If they have no house plants there is a *reason* for that. It's called: The Cat. You can have house plants OR a cat but not both. Cats chew on plants, and they will chew on lilies and get sick and possibly die. No, they don't know not to eat these plants. They dig right in.</p>
